The pair had reportedly been resting in the bedroom when the blaze started in their living room, and the dad had no choice but to try to escape the fire by jumping out the window.

The incredible scenes from Wenzhou City, in East China's Zhejiang Province, were recorded by a neighbour and show thick, black smoke billowing from the flat window as people below try and help Han and his daughter land safely.

Reports said a woman living on the floor above had already leapt out the window, landing in the bushes below and injuring her hip.
